A Few of my Favourite Things:

These are coin earrings that have been hand cut! They are currently out of my price range, but they are so beautiful. ! I can think of so many outfits to pair them with,


Julie Ann Art makes hilarious wedding related cards. Who needs traditional fancy invitations when you can have this card?

Tea Time: Honey & Tea

*** There are going to be some changes to this blog, I want to have better and more personal content! The first new weekly post will be Tea Time! Where I will be showcasing local tea businesses and tea accessories. Because tea is awesome. That is all. *****

                             

Honey & Tea is a local business that sells ... honey and tea. Mostly tea. They even sell cast iron tea pots and glass teacups! They sell teas to make you relax, to energize or soothe! I am definitly going to get me some relax tea! They also have organic and traditional tea. Honey & Tea is located in Oshawa, Ontario and give opportunity for the homeless and at risk youth. So you can buy tea and feel good about not only investing in local businesses but also because of how you are helping the community!

All Photo's are courtesy of Honey & Tea.

I was in no way paid for this post - but that would be nice! - I just really like this tea. And it's local!

Cheers!

2014: A year in selfies.

Now, I am in no way a big selfie person. In fact, I need to take more (and better) photos of myself. Here are my favourite - and almost all - my 2014 selfies! 

Let's go Blue Jays!!

For my graduation present I bought myself a diamond septum ring,! So in love with it!

I really wanted to wear my mermaid costume for halloween but I figured the pub is no place for a delicate sequin and tulle skirt.

Favourite shorts ever! It's so weird seeing my legs without the new tattoos.

This is indeed a pink cheetah onsies with ears on the hood. So comfy! I wear it about 8 times a week,.

My Black Milk skater skirt and top are soo comfy and amazing! Yes, it's brains. I can't wait to find the perfect reason to wear it! Probably not until next halloween but it will be amazing.

Show me your favourite selfie!

DIY Roundup

I know I've been lacking in the DIY posts, I can only blame pure laziness. That and the fact that finding good tutorials has been hard lately! Nobody seems to be doing many unique things. Anyways, these are what I have come up with ! I LOVE the marbles mug and amethyst mirror. I think I need both of them in my life ASAP.



Make this beautiful amethyst mirror!




Want to sprucen up you're kitche? Try these etched wooden spoons! So lovely.



this marbled mug diy is so good! The mugs look fancy, beautiful and are easy to make!



I was to make this garland for my house! I'm pretty bad for not decorating for any holiday.


What DIY's have you been doing?


Cheers!

DIY Halloween costume ideas

It's that wonderful time of year again! Where summer suddenly dies and we run face first into everything pumpkin flavoured. Oh yeah, and it's a month before halloween and everyone's talking about what their going to wear. Halloween is always my favourite, yet somehow each year I plan to make a super-awesome-unique costume and usually end up being a vulcan from Star Trek. Every year. Except that one year where I was a vulcan zombie because my boyfriend has extra fake blood. Anyways, this year I SWEAR I'm going to be something totally awesome. Like Susie from Moonrise Kingdom, or a mermaid, or Susie from Moonrise Kingdom. I think I'm going to be Susie.

/\Wg
All you need is a long sleeved peter pan collared dress, white knee highs, oxfords and binoculars.

One year, when I'm super buff, I'll be wonderwoman and wear a pantless suit.


Star Trek costumes always win.


I saw these two dresses and FELL IN LOVE! Sadly she closed up her shop and is no longer making these items. *sigh*

What will you guys be for halloween?Cheers!

DIY Coffee Blend

I love coffee as much as the next 'gal, but you know what I love even more? Fancy coffee; French vanilla, hazelnut topped with whipped cream...the works. So after buying pre-made coffee blends (and by that I mean instant mix because I'm a lazy lady), I decided to make my own. You can even wrap it up nicely as a gift! 

You will need:
Four vanilla beans
Cinnamon and/or nutmeg 2 tsp
1 lb freshly ground coffee beans

Deciding whether to use cinnamon or nutmeg in your blend is a personal choice, I like nutmeg but others don't. Or make one of each!  

Another choice is what type of coffee beans! I like medium fair trade coffee from Kenya, 

1. Mix two teaspoons of your choice 

Into a pound of freshly ground coffee beans, 

2. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla beans and mix them into the blend as we (just slice it up the side and open it, then scrape away!).

What do you think?

Cheers!
